You must work for sony, have stock in sony, or have spent thousands of dollars on the equipment you're talking about.

There's that word again... "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

I never considered that before. Thanks!

Honestly this is a brilliant solution, and exactly what a lot of us do in the military, too. The Army is constantly pushing people to get promoted into managerial slots they can barely manage, but a lot of people just hang around in the lower ranks for years and years.

The bonus? You get severance pay if you don't try to get promoted, hit the ten year mark, and they force you out because of it. And I'm talking upwards of $23,000 for the lower ranks.

Of course Bing has overtaken Yahoo. They just flipped the Live search over to Bing, and the media hype machine filled in the rest.

At work, where our security settings prevent changing the homepage or default search engine, any mistyped URL automatically rolls over to Bing now, without any prompting from our IT staff.

You say business or otherwise, but then say this is based on a lack of knowledge of alternatives? So you're saying that businesses are getting windows on their mass purchases of computers, and then investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into volume license copies of corporate versions of Windows just because they didn't realize that ubuntu.com offered free live cd images?

Doubtful.

Enough with the 2.0 bullshit! This isn't City 2.0! this is City 11,050,523.6.15 RC4.

Unfortunately, this is exactly like when they used to call shit "So and So 2000" or "So and So Xtra". I guess the 2.0 will stop whenever they have a new futuristic-sounding moniker.

They just put the fear of god into srjc_p1mp69.

I hope this game isn't brought down by bullshit polarized moral choices too. Kill woman in house, don't lose karma. Steal her toaster though, lose karma. Post about it on slashdot, regain karma.

You can start with Google too! ;)

I think I saw that on a hentai once.

I would rather call it Workplace Internet Browsing for Leisure, otherwise known as WIBL.

"Hey Tony, I need you to collate those TPS reports."
"Yeah sure boss. Right after I get done wibbling a bit."

Yeah, that'll sure stop all those pesky computers from watching hulu! Maybe now they can get back to work!

Too bad we still can't get to youtube from within the .mil domain.

Ain't it great when lobbyists work in our favor?
